Wher's the answers
All correct except 3. Each basket in basketball counts as two points.
Also, online “*” is used to indicate multiplication to avoid confusion with “x” as an unknown.
To multiply with 0 and 1, you can follow these steps:
1. For multiplication with 0, simply multiply the number by 0. The result will always be 0, regardless of the other number involved. For example, in question 2, Peter's score is 0 because he missed all the shots: 12 x 0 = 0 or 0 x 12 = 0.
2. For multiplication with 1, multiply the number by 1. The result will be the same as the original number because any number multiplied by 1 remains unchanged. In question 1, Jon has 4 fishbowls with 5 fish in each bowl: 4 x 5 = 20 or 5 x 4 = 20.
So, the multiplication sentences for the given questions are as follows:
1. Jon has 4 fishbowls with 5 fish in each bowl:
- Multiplication sentence: 4 x 5 = 20 or 5 x 4 = 20
2. Peter threw a basketball 12 times and missed every shot:
- Multiplication sentence: 12 x 0 = 0 or 0 x 12 = 0
3. Ari threw a basketball 6 times and made a basket each time:
- Multiplication sentence: 6 x 1 = 6 or 1 x 6 = 6
4. Vivian invited 31 friends to her pizza party and put 1 slice of pizza on each plate:
- Multiplication sentence: 31 x 1 = 31 or 1 x 31 = 31
5. After everyone ate pizza, no slices were left on the plates:
- Multiplication sentence: 31 x 0 = 0 or 0 x 31 = 0
Remember, multiplying a number by 0 always results in 0, and multiplying a number by 1 preserves the original number.
